Vertigo is a kind of patients' subjective feelings. The severity of vertigo is closely related to many factors. But we are short of a well accepted quantitative evaluation method capable of accurately and comprehensively evaluating vertigo in clinics. Reducing the onset of vertigo, enhancing the re- covery of equilibrium function, and improving the quality of life of vertigo patients should be taken as the focus of evaluating therapeutic effects. As for establishing a Chinese medical effectiveness evaluation system for vertigo, we believe we should distinguish different "diseases". We could roughly identify it as systemic vertigo and non-systemic vertigo. For systemic vertigo, the efficacy of vertigo could be comprehensively evaluated by UCLA vertigo questionnaire or dizziness handicap inventory combined with equilibrium function testing indices. But for non-systemic vertigo, the efficacy of vertigo could be comprehensively evaluated by taking UCLA vertigo questionnaire or dizziness handicap inventory as main efficacy indices. Secondly, we should analyze different reasons for vertigo, choose symptoms and signs in line with vertigo features as well as with Chinese medical theories, and formulate corresponding syndrome effectiveness standards according to different diseases. We should not simply take syndrome diagnosis standards as efficacy evaluation standards.

Plant insect-resistantgenetic engineering hasopened a new way to prevent and cure against the insect pest incrop and wood productions. With the progresses instudies, many insect-resistantgeneswere cloned and characterized. The classification of most insect-resistantgenes from plant, the functionalmechanism and the applications of theplantinsect-resistantgenes, the problems and prospectsforusing the plant insect-resistant genes in genetic engineering was described.

Objective To investigate the effect of Xiongshang RecipeⅠ(XPI)on serum inflammatory cytokines of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)and interleukin-8(IL-8)in acute pulmonary contusion patients.Methods Thirty acute pulmonary contusion patients were equally randomized into the control group (receiving routine western medical treatment)and the treatment group (received routine western medical treatment and oral use of XPI).The treatment lasted 2 weeks.Thirty healthy physical examinees served as the contemporaneous normal controls.Secondary pulmonary contusion,recovery time and the serum levels of TNF and IL-8 were observed after pulmonary contusion.Results Serum levels of TNF and IL-8 in the treatment group after treatment were decreased(P

Corticosteroid-induced glaucoma (CIG) is a form of open angle glaucoma associated with both topical and systemic administration of corticosteroids. Here we described the clinical findings in a patient with severe glaucoma and posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) after topical administration of corticosteroid eye drops. We concluded corticosteroid eye drop was an effective medicine for inflammation of the eyes; however,prolonged use could cause severe vision loss as a result of intractable corticosteroid-induced glaucoma and cataract.

Objective To investigate the relationship of nitric oxide with nitric oxide synthase system in fetal rat kidney and the mechanism of renal injury after acute intrauterine ischemia(hypoxia)/reperfusion ischemia(hypoxia)/reperfusion. Methods Wistar rats of 21 gestational days were selected and divided into seven groups according to the different ischemia(hypoxia)/reperfusion time. The level of nitric oxide and the expression of nitric oxide synthase system were detected by biochemistry, immunohistochemistry and RT PCR. Results The NO level was decreased gradually with extension of ischemia, which was significantly different from sham group ( P
